From G4 to S6, getting great battery life

[sfla99]

Hi all,

In a sea of posts I wanted to say I followed the threads here on some of the most common battery tweaks and I am seeing some positive results thus far.

I went through two LG G4s hoping that the 3000mah battery would prove to be a performer but it seems once you broke the seal and cracked past 100% if the screen was on I could maybe eek out 3.5 hours SoT.

Here is my results of my first full day of the S6. This consisted of Bluetooth nonstop, 50% on WiFi the rest mobile, roughly an 1:10m of YouTube streaming over WiFi, four hours if Spotify over WiFi, lots of texting, maybe 30m voice call, a single exchange account that gets about 70 emails over push, flip board, fenix, tapatalk and Facebook usage etc.

So far I am quite pleased, thanks to those who post the tweaks!

Nice results! I've been pretty close to that on the G4.

Great results. Even if the G4 doesn't last as long, there is the replaceable battery which I have never seen done.

G4 is great no doubt, but in all my years I don't think I have ever replaced a battery mid day or swapped an SD card.

The other advantage is that you don't have to buy another wireless charging back. Even at TFO, glad to be rid plastic back covers.

I just snagged a G4 so I will see how it goes with battery life compared to my S6 .

I've been using both, one thing I will say is that Samsung is on point when it comes to video battery life. The only way I can get far past 4 hours sot, is if I'm watching twitch.

I do watch a lot of twitch as well. Usually around 30-60 GB a month on mobile alone haha. Tons of tournaments!
